Spatial Leverages Mesh Technology from Distene, Delivering the Best
Mesh Available for Critical Simulation

Improving the CAD to Solver Process

BROOMFIELD, Colo.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Spatial Corp, the leading provider of 3D software development toolkits
for design, manufacturing, and engineering solutions, and a subsidiary
of Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the 3DEXPERIENCE
Company, announces today the incorporation of 3D mesh technology from
Distene S.A.S. into its 3D modeling software development toolkits (SDKs)
to improve the CAD to solver process for analysis and simulation
solutions.

“Our customers are realizing incredible results through simulation and
analysis of 3D models, delivering the applications that empower
designers to create superior products, sooner, at lower costs. These
analysis workflows necessitate surface and volume meshes that are
precise, fast and crafted to optimize the solver’s numerical analysis
results”

Through this partnership, Spatial extends its current mesh offering of
3D Mesh with 3D
Precise Mesh. 3D Precise Mesh bridges the gap between CAD and
simulation/analysis. In the past, end users have resorted to iterative
meshing, analysis and design processes that can take weeks to complete.
3D Precise Mesh not only accelerates time to market, but also automates
the process, while improving the overall quality of the resulting
generative design.

“We were looking for a lightweight meshing component to be used in all
our finite-element-solvers and decided on components from Distene. Their
Tetrahedral meshing technology represents the de facto industry
standard,” said Oleg Skipa, Department Manager ‒ Data and Frameworks,
Computer Simulation Technology, part of Dassault Systèmes. “We also use
Spatial’s 3D ACIS Modeler for our 3D geometry kernel. Crucially these
two technologies interface extremely well. Spatial can leverage this
mesh technology and provide an integrated solution for customers.”

The self-contained meshing component can be easily integrated into a
software application, providing end users with access to a reliable
solution, validated via a large and growing database of models. And,
with support for parallelized meshing, 3D Precise Mesh removes the
limits for the world’s most demanding simulations.

“The CAD to solver link has long been a bottleneck in the 3D modeling
world that Distene aims at reducing with automatic and
industrial-strength meshing technologies,” said Laurent Anné, Sales
Director and co-founder of Distene. “This partnership leverages the
technological heritage of both Spatial and Distene to provide analysis
applications with an efficient CAD to solver link that is fast,
flexible, and most importantly, delivers the best mesh available for
critical simulation workflows.”

“Our customers are realizing incredible results through simulation and
analysis of 3D models, delivering the applications that empower
designers to create superior products, sooner, at lower costs. These
analysis workflows necessitate surface and volume meshes that are
precise, fast and crafted to optimize the solver’s numerical analysis
results,” said Brian Rohde, Senior Product Manager responsible for 3D
Modeling, Spatial. “Through this partnership, our CGM
Core Modeler and 3D
ACIS Modeler customers can deliver best-in-class meshing solutions
to their end users today. Because of our expertise in 3D modeling and
this collaboration with Distene, we look forward to helping our
customers continue evolving their applications with 3D Precise Mesh.”

3D Precise Mesh is immediately available.
